Purpose
Young Adults are defined as young people from 16 to 25 years of
age. Young Adults are the future. It is therefore important:
- For National Member Organisations (NMOs):
To involve them to the extend possible in their on-going activities.
- For IPOPI:
To listen to the opinions of the Young Adults and as far as possible
incorporate their ideas in its reflections.
- To give the Young Adults an opportunity to exchange points
of view by offering a IPOPI Forum for Young Adults on its website.
- To urge NMOs to let some of their Young Adults participate
in the biannual IPOPI meetings.

Budapest 2006
9 Young Adults joined the IPOPI/ESID/INGID biennial meeting in
Budapest 4th - 7th October 2006.
They had created their own agenda and programme, which included:
- Workshop on “How can NMOs develop their engagement
of Young Adults”, and
- Workshop on “Travelling with PID”, which was followed
by a discussion with people from Baxter.
Friday 6th October was set aside for a day of sightseeing in Budapest
under direction of David Pádár, Hungary.
As a result of the discussions the Young Adults have created a
special forum, which will be available for YAs representing their
NMO. Details for this forum can be obtained from sven@ipopi.org.
The Young Adult programme was generously supported by the World
Immunodeficiency Networh (WIN) - Thank you WIN.
